Watermelon rinds

[annavon]

I think I have heard that watermelon rinds are edible. (pickles???). What I am curious about, is does anybody juice the watermelon rinds. Any health benefits or negatives?

Just be cautious. Use only organic. The latest "thing" buzzing around is that watermelon is having the same effect as Viagara :confused: :confused: :confused: For real. I've heard this lately...

That was a hot topic with the media a couple weeks back. I joked with my boyfriend about getting him some watermelon but truth be told he had tried a sample Viagra a few months ago and we actually we're bored! "Damn...is that thing still up?" Needless to say, he's not going out of his way for watermelon. :cool:

I love eating the skins of my organic locally grown watermellons. They are crunchy and cucumber flavored.

I juice them all the time... and nope they are not organic that I'm aware of. I do wash them up first though. They are high in iron and other stuff... can't think of what they have off the top of my head but a google search would tell you.

Anyway, I drink a LOT of watermelon (always with the rind) and don't have any Viagra side effects LOL I am a woman though...
